Here's my post about the "Daily Show"'s nauseating exploitation of a camel here in Wisconsin. (But look here to see some good "Daily Show" coverage of the protests from 2/22/11.)

Here's what I had to say about the phone call, in which someone pretended to be David Koch:

Walker opponents would love to make something of this phone call, but all they have are a few over-the-line things the Koch impersonator said like "You gotta crush that union." Walker just ignores that stuff and goes on with his standard points, which is probably the standard strategy that most politicians use when people interact with them....

Doesn't this prank call prove that Scott Walker is not close to Koch? He doesn't recognize his voice! He doesn't drift into a more personal style of speech. He treats him like a generic political supporter.

There wouldn't be any kind of storm, garage, let alone a shitstorm, because the MSM wouldn't cover it, or, if they did, would excuse it. It certainly wouldn't be covered the way the overrated Koch call was covered.

I didn't know a camel had been brought to the protest, I hadn't yet found this exceptional media outlet a year ago.

Those gates are like the temporary gates I use for sheep, but only in a well fenced area since some sheep can easily jump them. I hope the camel didn't break a leg getting hung up like that. I can't figure out if the camel owner rents the camel out to any dumbshit who comes by, or if the camel owner is so stupid to use gates that are barely taller than the camel's knees. Call the humane society on the camel owner and where the heck is PETA protesting the exploitation of a poor camel.

wv is only slightly easier without the blob. I was wrong, it's still a pain in the ass.
